Has anyone talked about doing an alpha release? Esp. with the just landed GSoC work, would be a good way to get it out in front of people to shake out any bugs that crept in through that.
Technically every version of Inkscape so far has been alpha. No v1.0 because we're not feature complete. And I'd also hazard that the trunk build ppa system is equivalent to an alpha build.
I think Bryce has a good point that it is worthwhile to bring latest trunk under the attention of many users. Indeed, trunk build seems fine to me. We can post a recent build for all popular platforms (more prominently) on our main page, and send a mail about it to the inkscape-user list. What do you think ~suv?
(sidenote: the comment that "technically" every version of Inkscape has been alpha, I think that's not true)
